Using Windows APIs with VB6 is perfectly natural and virtually everybody who is using VB6, as was the OP, and who asks how to perform a specific task in VB6, as did the OP, would be perfectly happy to accept a solution that requires them to call some API functions from VB6. Such a solution is perfectly sensible. Your own suggested solution however, which was to advise the OP to use a completely different development platform simply because you did not have sufficient knowledge to provide him with a real answer, is the mark of an idiot. You are both an idiot and a troll, Clement. And the act of saying that is not "calling someone names", as you so childishly put it, it is simply a statement of fact. Mike

This is going to sound a lot harsher than I mean it to be (so I apologize in advance), but that is a ridiculous statement to make (in defense of your initial posting to this thread I presume) within this thread given the OP **plainly** stated in the Subject and **unequivocally repeated** in the body of his message that he was looking for a VB6 solution. Please enlighten us as to how you could possibly construe that to mean "please tell me about non-VB6 solutions that may exist which could answer my question"? -- Rick (MVP - Excel)
